To check whether your login credential is compromised, Chrome sends a copy of your usernames and passwords to Google using a special form of encryption. This lets Google check them against lists of credentials known to be compromised, but Google cannot derive your username or password from this encrypted copy.
Google will then notify you when you have compromised passwords on websites, but it can be time-consuming to go find the relevant form to change your password. To help in this kind of situation, Google adding support for “.well-known/change-password” URLs that let Chrome take users directly to the right “change password” form after they’ve been alerted that their password has been compromised.
Additionally, the company is bringing new Safety Check for both Android and iOS, which includes checking for compromised passwords, telling you if Safe Browsing is enabled, and whether the version of Chrome you are running is updated with the latest security protections.
Google will be also introducing Chrome 86 with other new features including enhanced safe browsing for Android, improvements to password filling on iOS and mixed form warnings, and download blocking.
